Sorry Then here's your shmoop you sure brought to you

00:05

by student loans along with exes and venomous snakes There

00:09

things best avoided People we know of where we speak

00:14

all right thomas wrote this essay The importance of affordable

00:18

state universities here i'm in public and president priority All

00:27

right what's the correct way to write sentence seven and

00:31

hear the potential answers All right keep sniffing out The

00:35

problem with sentence seven is knowing that the words society

00:38

is actually singular Well sure the word represents a whole

00:41

lot of people that all those people are only in

00:44

one society right It's okay to chew on that a

00:47

bit Anyway since society is singular we can't use the

00:50

plural pronoun there to refer to it in a can

00:54

go because it does nothing to fix the pronoun problem

00:58

Make matters worse it also adds the phrase of the

01:01

fact that which plants more words into the sentence for

01:04

no good reason Choi si tries to fix things by

01:07

doing a little re warden but this sense is never

01:10

going to be right until the pronoun has changed Eventually

01:13

one of these options have to bite the bullet disclaimer

01:15

smoke does not condone the biting of bullets although the

01:18

american dental society maybe all right answered is the slack

01:23

ist option of all since it thinks we ought to

01:25

leave the sense as is if we learned anything in

01:27

therapy it's that ignoring a problem only makes it work

01:31

but it looks like choice is the only answer with

01:34

the guts to fix this pronoun problem Replacing it there

01:37

with its is what this ends needs Society is singular

01:42

It's is singular Why don't we get these two crazy

01:46

kids together huh like anything's ever gone wrong on a 00:01:49.218 --> [endTime] blind date before Uh right huh
